I just bought my first tractor, it is a IH 340 U gas. It needs some fixing up! The hydraulics for the rear didn't work. And the steering has alot of play in it and is very hard to turn at times. It has been converted over to a 3 point in the rear. It was originally a Tel-a-depth system. They just left off the rod from the back by the cylinder. Anyway I found that one of the spider gears in the control valve was broken and missing several teeth. From what I have researched this was a common problem and hard to find the gears. And that I need a different type of valve anyway. What Kind of control valve will bolt up to to lines and manifold. Now to the steering it is manual steering system with lots of play in it, almost a full turn. Should I just try and rebuild it or I was thinking of maybe converting it to power steering. Is this possible or smart to do? Also missing the PTO engagement rod that goes from the lever to the pto, is there somewhere I could get one or do I just need to make one. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
